I know exactly what I was saying. I like the Rock Krawler set up.

I am sure the RC rig is nice as well.

I was adding a point that there are kits out there that are upgradeable in the future and seem to have very solid warranties.

I have the Teraflex with the spacers and shock entenders and have had no problems. Gave me enough room to clear my 33's and have never had any rubbing issues.

Go Coil Spring Lift if you are considering a Winch and heavy bumpers and don't waste your time on a BB. The stock coil springs will SAG like a 80 year old's Boobs with the winch and heavy bumpers!!

I had the RC 2.5 lift for about 4 months, spring compression problems, they offered to send me springs to fix the problem but couldn't guarantee the ones they were sending would fix it, and I wasn't about to keep replaceing springs - took the RC off and put a 3" BDS lift on, and love it, have had it on for almost a year, no sagging, no compression, and the ride quality is much better. I know lifts don't aren't intended to make the ride better, but going from a "budget, pocket friendly" lift to a "more expensive" lift, made a huge difference in ride and handling quality.

Just my 0.02 - I wouldn't go back to RC.

Why not Superlift or Skyjacker? I believe they are actually located in your town.

I apologize for your spring compression issue.
